Terms and Conditions

These are the terms and conditions of YouConvey Ltd, a company registered in England and Wales under company number 12580907, with registered office at 57 Jordan Street, Liverpool, Merseyside, England L1 0BW (“we” or “us”).

These terms apply to you, as the customer, when you use the “YouConvey” software application (“YouConvey”). If you do not agree to these terms and conditions, please do not use YouConvey, as a legally binding contract is formed between you and us.

We reserve the right to update these terms and conditions, so please check back regularly to ensure you are aware of the most current version.

These terms and conditions were last updated in May 2021.

YouConvey Software
YouConvey is a software application that allows customers to manage the process of their own conveyancing transaction, by performing many of the tasks traditionally carried out by conveyancing professionals.

YouConvey allows you, through a number of predefined steps, to navigate through your particular conveyancing transaction, providing guidance and assistance throughout. 

Legal Representation for you is accessible from a member of the YouConvey Legal Panel, who may carry out any required legal work (including the drafting of any contract or transfer documentation), and will deal with the financial steps in the transaction. We take all reasonable steps to ensure our Legal Panel has appropriate professional indemnity insurance to cover any transaction with YouConvey.

Your contract is with us in relation to your use of YouConvey, as a software application. Your contract for legal services is with the member of the Legal Panel you choose to contract with. We are not a party to this relationship, and are not responsible for any acts or omissions of the relevant firm.

We are not regulated by either the Solicitors Regulation Authority or the Council for Licensed Conveyancers, nor any other Regulatory Body. As such, we are not authorised to carry out any reserved activity legal work, as defined by section 12 of the Legal Services Act 2007. 

Your use of  YouConvey is considered to be execution-only by you of particular tasks within YouConvey, including, for the purpose of section 12, the preparation of any Reserved Instruments. 

It is your responsibility to be accurate in providing the information to the member of the Legal Panel, or uploading it to YouConvey, and not to provide any misleading information. You accept that, if you do not comply with this requirement, you may be liable for contractual or other legal remedies available to any third party who has suffered as a result of any misleading information or misrepresentation. We will not be held responsible for any such inaccuracy or misrepresentation by you.

By agreeing to these terms and conditions, you  give your express authority and consent  to YouConvey or a member of the Legal Panel firm to carry out any appropriate anti-money laundering and identity verification enquiries, and agree that these can be  made available  to appropriate third parties in the transaction, including (but not limited to  conveyancers involved in the transaction, estate agents, mortgage brokers and any respective Lenders at no cost)  Provision of such information is governed by the engagement terms and privacy policies of the relevant firm. Your consent extends to sharing any other documentation you complete on the YouConvey website (or via any links provided through the website) including for example any Sales Questionnaire or Law Society TransAction Forms which are to be shared with the member of the Legal Panel allocated to represent you in your legal transaction 

In the event that your transaction cannot proceed because the other party’s conveyancer is not prepared to deal with YouConvey, then any fees (but not any disbursements properly incurred) will be refunded to you.

As we are not a regulated body, the Legal Ombudsman Service does not apply to any issues which you may wish to raise with our service. Please therefore note our Complaints Policy for further information as to how we deal with any complaints 

Whilst we are able to provide advice and assistance throughout your transaction, we are not acting for you in this transaction. Any decision you make throughout the transaction is made by you based on information provided by YouConvey or through your own investigations and research. 

Any advice we provide either in our software content or through any service such as our chat and messenger service is considered to be guidance and assistance only. Ultimately you must make your own decision on a particular action or step . In particular, we cannot advise you on matters such as the price of the property or whether you should proceed with the transaction. You understand that the principle of YouConvey is that you manage the majority of risks and decisions relating to your transaction yourself. If you do not wish to accept this level of responsibility in a transaction, please do not use YouConvey.

YouConvey Fees
You will be charged the fee as advertised on YouConvey. 

An initial portion of this fee (currently £250  plus Vat) is paid on creation of your YouConvey account. The balance of the  fees due are paid on conclusion of your transaction by the member of the Legal Panel dealing with it.

All fees are collected by Stripe, Inc., and processed according to their privacy policy, which can be found here.

The initial portion of the fee is non-refundable, and reflects the costs incurred by us and the member of the Legal Panel to commence the work on your behalf.
